An Intimate Summer Wedding in Tuscany

An Australian couple decamped to an Italian villa for a weeklong celebration capped off by a reception in a candle-lit olive grove.

Amy and Dan, both teachers, were drawn to the idea of having a week-long wedding celebration in Italy. "Despite neither of us being Italian, we had heard great things about this villa, Castellare de Sernigi, and thought that a week in Tuscany with our nearest and dearest friends and family sounded like a very memorable and special idea. Plus, it would give our parents a good excuse for a well-overdue overseas holiday."

On June 6, 2012 the Australian couple exchanged "I do's" surrounded by 25 of the people they hold dear.
